CONSERVATORIES& SOLIDROOFS
WAKEFIELD MANUFACTURER OF THE YEAR 2018
» » LEADING UK FABRICATOR,
Conservatory Outlet Ltd, Wakefield has been
recognised as ‘Manufacturer of the Year 2018’
at the Wakefield Manufacturing Awards.
The company was presented its trophy at
the high-profile ceremony which took place
on 4th October - the first ever event to
solely recognise and celebrate excellence in
manufacturing across Wakefield and the wider
district.
Specialising in the design and manufacture
of some of the most innovative high-quality
windows, doors and living spaces in the UK,
Conservatory Outlet Ltd was selected for the
top award by judges for the way in which
it adds value to its service offering for its
network of customers and works so closely
with its supply chain to achieve growth.
The judges were also impressed with the
company’s efforts to embed their new vision
and values across the business, and for its
investment into training and workforce
development to ensure the long-term future
and security of the firm and its team.
Conservatory Outlet has achieved
tremendous growth YOY for the past five
years, with turnover increasing from £8.4m
in 2013 to £18.3m in 2018. This consistent
growth has led to the creation of 43 new
job roles that now sees Conservatory Outlet
employ over 130 local individuals within its
60,000-sq. ft. factory.
Not by accident, this growth milestone is
owed to a strategic plan generated by owners
Greg Kane and Michael Giscombe, to focus
on actively supporting its Network of retail
customers to grow through providing tailored
sales, marketing and operational support.
Michael said: “We work incredibly hard to
ensure we invest in training and the wellbeing
of our people, and this is a fantastic recognition
of the hard work and dedication of our
entire team here in Wakefield who deliver an
excellent level of service across the UK.
“It just shows you don’t need to be a big
exporter or ultra-high-tech to be innovative
in manufacturing. We’re really proud to be
recognised for innovating on service and
working collaboratively with our Network of
customers to achieve growth. We couldn’t be
prouder of our team and look forward to the
next phase of our growth in 2019.”
